I'm not sure if this question has ever been asked but Which play did you enjoy more resulting in an Irish Victory?
1. September 21, 2002: It appeared that Notre Dame (4-0) was going to suffer another heartbreaking loss to the Spartans when Charles Rogers made 21-yard grab from Jeff Smoker in the back of the end zone on a fourth-down pass with 1:45 left in the game. But 30 seconds later Backup quarterback Pat Dillingham tossed a 60-yard touchdown
pass to Arnaz Battle with 1:15 remaining as 12th-ranked Notre Dame snapped a five-game losing streak to Michigan State remaining unbeaten with a wild 21-17 victory and went on to win their next 4 games.
or
2. September 23, 2006: After being blown out by Michigan a week earlier, Notre Dame was Down 16 at Michigan State heading into the 4th quarter. Cornerback Terrail Lambert capped a furious rally by returning an interception 27 yards for a touchdown with 2:53 remaining to give the 13th-ranked Fighting Irish a 40-37 victory over the Spartans.
I think I enjoyed the 16 point rally the most because it was like 11 at night and i was hanging out in a bar with a bunch of of my ND friends and alot of the bar was routing against ND. We were going bonkers in the bar when Lambert returned that INT for a TD. That Arnaz Battle TD was awesome too because I was so angry when Rodgers caught that pass. Rodgers torched ND for 175 and 2 TDs. I was sitting in my car outside of a high school football stadium listening to it on the radio. It was a great feeling when they won that game.
